The largest of the Roman Baths in the city of Bath. From this view we are looking down from street level. Everything from the round pillars and above is from the 19th Century, including the statues of Roman emperors around the terrace. The bath itself, the paving around it and the bases of former pillars are Roman, 2000 years old. The bath is fed from a natural hot spring.

"Bath twice a day to be really clean, once a day to be passably clean, once a week to avoid being a public menace." — Anthony Burgess
Bath Abbey is a parish church of the Church of England and former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, it was reorganised in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries; major restoration work was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s. It is one of the largest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in the West Country. The medieval abbey church served as a sometime cathedral of a bishop. After long contention between churchmen in Bath and Wells the seat of the Diocese of Bath and Wells was later consolidated at Wells Cathedral. The Benedictine community was dissolved in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
The Palladian Bridge at Prior Park, a Georgian-era landscape garden in the southern outskirts of Bath. The bridge is one of three surviving in the UK - at Stowe, Wilton and this one.
The National Trust is currently restoring this park and I suggest you postpone any planned visits until the work is completed.
